The
new caftans:
The Caftan - A classic and we
went green and reduced the yardage requirements. This caftan in any dress
length features elbow length sleeves which may be longer to ¾ or full
length by adding the “sleeve” extension piece. Click sleeves, and adjust
the length as desired. Made in lightweight silks they flow and flit like a
butterfly. Make it any length and make it quick to wear tonight. Ideal at
home or cruise wear.
The Caftan Blouse is geared for
comfort- and fast to make. Ideal in Cotton/Rayons/Silkies or make it in a
woolen to toss on for quick trips outdoors.
The Caftan Shrug can be worn in
lieu of a sweater at the office in a stretch knit, or dressed up in a
devore Velvet for evening wear. Let your imagination out.
The Caftanesque Robe - Need a
robe? This one is so fast to make that you can make several for gifts in
one day. Use French terry, or velour’s in cool climates, cottons or satins
–you can add embellishments to dress it up. The full tie belt wraps right
around you.
New
Necklines:
The Floppy Turtleneck is a
fitted stretch top with long sleeves and nice large turtleneck that flops
and drapes for a touch of elegance. The neck is more open than a classic
turtleneck. Worn with slacks or skirts- this will go anywhere. Like
stretch sweater tops a little loose select semi fit and adjust the stretch
from 12% to 8%.
The Jersey Mock Turtleneck Shell
- So versatile- make it long sleeve as designed or make it sleeveless in a
black slinky jersey or any sleeve length you prefer. Designed as a
moderate Stretch Knit with 12% stretch factor, you can loosen it right up
to semi fitted if desired with 8% stretch. The mock turtle is a high stand
or band collar that’s not as wide as a true turtleneck and the base of the
neck is closer fitting that a floppy turtleneck. Ideal for at home or
office, wear it anywhere.
The Fall 2010 Collection also includes
a new pleated neckline that has vertical pleats and is quick and easy to
make up.
The Pleated Neck Nightgown
defaults to just below the knee but can be made any length. It is
sleeveless to wear all year long. I hand dyed some stretch silk charmeuse
to go with the devore satin bed jacket for the most elegant peignoir set I
ever dreamed of. Make it in cotton, lingerie fabrics from batiste to
flannel for an uber-comfortable nightie.
The Pleated Neck Tee - Goes
anywhere and is a little dressier than just a tee shirt, has 3 vertical
pleats you can stitch down or leave as release tucks and its designed long
sleeve but you can change to any sleeve length. It is a standard fit with
8% horizontal stretch so while fitted, its not too close.
More
Fun Fall Fashions That
Get the Most From MPD’s Design Tools and Settings
The Ballerina Princess is a
fitted long sleeve armhole princess style that’s standard fit and may be
worn with the optional belt. The Ballerina neckline is perfect for
showcasing jewelry or a wonderful silk scarf. The pattern is made for a
woven lightweight wool or rayon or blend.
The Bed Jacket can be so much
more. Made up in a devore, satin or minky, it’s ideal to wear at home for
reading in bed but with a touch of class. Make it in fabulous black
velvet, line it and add sparkly crystals to wear out over an evening dress
for New Years Eve.
The Boy Friend Shirt has classic
shirt styling with a classic yoke, long cuffed sleeves, chevron pocket and
shirt tail hem. You can make it longer by adding up to 5 inches to the
length or looser fitting by changing the fit from semi-fitted to relaxed
fit.
The Fold Over Track Pant - this
is as loose and casual as can be. The fold-over waist and Capri length are
perfect for a weekend reading in bed or doing your morning exercises.
The Fold Over Waistband Skirt -
has to be made from stretch fabrics- casual skirt is ideal for teens and
‘tweens.
The Keyhole Party Dress is a
classic for the holidays. Made in a fine satin, stretch velvet or dupioni
its sure to wow with its fitted sheath lines and keyhole opening at the
neck.
The Long Knit Cardigan - I’m in
love with this wide gently pointed wing collar that tends to drape when
its not heavily interfaced. In fact if you have a double sided knit you
can simply finish the edge and not face it. Worn with a belt this mid
thigh sweater knit or stretch velour can go anywhere.
The One Shoulder Part Dress is a
fitted 1 shoulder dress ready to accept bling. I see it in a midnight blue
with silver crystals sprinkled on the fitted bodice. Great for Holiday
parties or clubbing with a shorter skirt or make it full length and add a
rectangular velvet or faux fur shawl for “The” winter wedding.
